Bmw 116i 06 plate rusted underneath

[Jenell]

Hi husband has bought 06 plate 116i M Sport. 70k miles. Had it checked over & lots of rust underneath to the rear. Have no idea about cars & we were stung badly on the last 2nd hand car we bought. Is this anything to worry about? Should we take it back for a refund? Thanks

Yes! There is structual damage in at least 2 of those pics. If you bought privately you are stuck I'm afraid. If a dealer purchase:

I would also question that mileage. If you PM me reg number I can do a check on car's history.

Good luck.

That rust looks ugly. 

Take it to a good Mot testing station and see what they find. If for nothing else piece of mind. 

If bought from a garage register your feelings ASAP. If you're going to reject it do it now. 

If bought privately then get any work required ASAP. 

As the vehicle been used near to the coast or predominantly rural areas?

So did you sort this? The sheer amount of advisories really ought to have put you off.
